We have 2 sets of prices, $ and £'s.
How best can I handle this.
Should I have a folder with the US site in so when users click on the US flag they go to mydomain.com/us and then navigate from there.
Or is there something simpler I can do?
The HTML site passes users over to our client system when ordering so currency conversion etc isnt needed. Just want advice on how to handle displaying a site in dollars and pounds.
Thanks.
If you have a country field on your user's table you could use this value to determine what symbol and prices to show.
If you are trying to keep it really simple without any server-side page generation use a bit of JavaScript. Pick a default currency and allow the user to click US or UK to switch to the other one. Javascript can be used to set a cookie so that when the user revisits the website, or views other pages, you can automatically set the preferred currency.
There are a few different ways to perform the conversion, and it probably depends most on how you do the conversion yourself. If you are just going by a current exchange rate store the prices in one currency for each item in a table and then have it apply the exchange rate as part of your conversion function.
I suggest looking into jQuery if you aren't very familiar with JavaScript.
